I don't understand your point.
A guarantee is a guarantee. Whether it comes from ticket sales, ppv, sponsers, etc. Pac still sees what's guaranteed to him. Its contracted. There's no "maybe" in the contract. If the contract calls for a $22mil guarantee and the fight doesn't generate the $22mil, that falls on Arum and the network. Pac still gets his money.Comment

This is not true though. If Haymon wants it, but the fighters don't want it, the fight won't happen. Fighters have a lot more power than you think. They have to be cool with the situation as well.
Even in terms of Canelo, Schaefer and Oscar did NOT want him fighting Trout and Lara. But that happened because Canelo really wanted it. I also heard that Haymon didn't really want Broner vs. Maidana. But that Broner really insisted on it happening.Comment

:They agreed to it because Haymon advised them to do so. They've already made a lot of money through Haymon and trust that he has their best interest at heart. Now whether it turns out to be a great decision in the long term remains to be seen.
Same situation with Thurman. He turned down the Roc Nation deal on his own he said.Comment

For the article I posted which was Pac vs JMM III, his contracted guarantee was $22mil.
For his first fight with Bradley it was $26mil.

Different situation with Saul, in Al's contracts he has final say on the fights.....guess what that means?
Sure he may cater to some more than others, but at the end of the day his contracts stipulate that he has the final say. He can make any of his guys fight each other and he's holding Thurman's career hostage. Why do you think Roc Nation reached out to Thurman? They know what's up.
If you think he can make any of his fighters fight each other, whenever he wants, then hey, that's your opinion. But I don't believe that. Fighters turn down other fighters all the time. Any Promoter doesn't have to stage a fight that a fighter wants either by the way. It's the Promoter putting up the money and risking the money.
I don't think he's holding Thurman's career hostage. I think Thurman just had some bad luck getting fights with these guys. Haymon clearly tried to get him nice names in the past, but it didn't work out.Comment
